The experience of environmental governance is approached in
Improving Global Environmental Governance from the unique
perspective of actor configuration and embedded networks of actors,
which are areas of emerging importance. The chapters look at
existing Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) and the
broader constellation of partially networked institutions to better
understand the involvement of individual actors and how to deepen
the networks that include them to generate more effective
governance. The book covers a wide range of issued pertaining to
environmental governance including trans-boundary air pollution,
marine pollution, biodiversity and ozone depletion. It also
examines partnerships as a hybrid case of emerging modes of
environmental governance. These partnerships are a recent form of
actor configuration that warrant attention for dealing with global
environmental threats in order to better understand the full
potential of actor configurations in the absence of state
involvement. In order to test applicability to on-going but stalled
processes, the book applies the approach to one of the most
difficult issues we face: climate change. By addressing key
questions in this important area, the book provides new
perspectives in the nexus between agency and architecture in
environmental governance in the twenty-first century.

A detailed examination of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals
and the shift in governance strategy they represent. In September
2015, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Sustainable
Development Goals as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development. The Sustainable Development Goals built on and
broadened the earlier Millennium Development Goals, but they also
signaled a larger shift in governance strategies. The seventeen
goals add detailed content to the concept of sustainable
development, identify specific targets for each goal, and help
frame a broader, more coherent, and transformative 2030 agenda. The
Sustainable Development Goals aim to build a universal, integrated
framework for action that reflects the economic, social, and
planetary complexities of the twenty-first century. This book
examines in detail the core characteristics of goal setting, asking
when it is an appropriate governance strategy and how it differs
from other approaches; analyzes the conditions under which a
goal-oriented agenda can enable progress toward desired ends; and
considers the practical challenges in implementation. Contributors
